Analysis 33 Elemental Water Test Kit – Single Sample Kit

ICP Test for the Following 33 Elements: Aluminum Arsenic Barium Beryllium Boron Cadmium Calcium Cesium Chlorine Chromium Cobalt Copper Iodine Iron Lanthanum Lead Lithium Magnesium Manganese Molybdenum Mercury Nickel Phosphorus Potassium Rubidium Scandium Selenium Silicon Sodium Strontium Sulfur Vanadium Zinc Inductive Couple Plasma or ICP is an instrument commonly used for testing when complying with the EPA regulations in food and environmental issues. ICP will test your aquarium’s water elements down to the parts per million (ppm) or even parts per billion (ppb) surpassing the accuracy of any hobby level test kits. Salt water is injected into a plasma chamber that is approximately 10000 degrees Celsius. This extreme temperature breaks everything in the sample apart into the basic elements. Every element is then released at a specific wave length and the machine measures the concentration of the element by how much energy is released at that specific wave length. Research has shown time after time that certain trace elements are necessary for the growth reproduction and color of many corals. Knowing exactly what is in your tank’s water will help you troubleshoot issues see what is missing from the water that may be inhibiting coral growth and coloration or simply help you make educated adjustments to give your corals the best possible environment to thrive.
